We’ve all had our “low points” on the job, moments when we were caught unprepared or off guard and we let our employers – and ourselves – down. Storyteller Wesley Hall Parker, who shared a story during the June 2015 All Y’all live storytelling event “Brush With Fame,” experienced a Christmas Eve workplace crash-and-burn of epic proportions while working as a gift wrapper at San Francisco’s Green Apple Books. As the title of her story implies, her workplace meltdown included some celebrity cameos.
For this episode, we reached out to Dr. Lisa Nicoletti, professor of art history and visual studies at Centenary College of Louisiana, who provided a bit of cultural context for the story.
